    Dear Nancy, Susie, Patrick The funniest memory of teaching with Jack for many years (and I use it to this day) is his quote "is this a long story?"....elementary kids go on and on and on... I will miss all the laughs and mostly his "encouraging" way with his students.

    Jack was a great golfer and he provided both of us with positve reinforcement and a lot of great tips on the game. We like to think that the tips he gave us helped our game in many ways. We had some great times with Jack and Nancy and will miss him. Having been a friend of the family for many years we pray for all the family.

    Coach taught me so much, so many things that I use today. He was a great teacher of hockey and knew how to prepare young men for the world. I can honestly say that I'm a better man because I was coached by "Coach". I'm always prepared and do everything with passion, I still love hockey and for these things, I thank you "Coach". My prayers are with you Nancy,Susan, and Patrick.

    Jack touched the lives of many young athletes that will remember over the years the lessons he taught on sportsmanship and fair play. We personally will miss Jack, his phone calls after a game, a call to play a round of golf or just a catch up call. There was never a time you didn't see Jack that they'd be a big smile and a shake of his head with some story to tell. Goodbye to a friend and neighbor we will always hold you and family in our thoughts

    With heartfelt sympathy, my thoughts are with you.
